Tilt your ultrabook and Fly a plane...

Today, Intel announced a lot of content, but something they
breezed over was the new gyroscope features in their ultrabook range.
They today showed off a device running Google Earth in "fly" mode, where
you could control the device in a new way.

In our demonstration below, the plane in the video is controlled by
just tilting the device in the direction you wish to send it in. It's
all been seen on phones before, but it's interesting that the company is
trying to push the technology in this form factor.

Will it take off? We'll have to wait and see. There aren't many
applications that come to mind for this, but hey, if you want to fly
around a plane by tilting your laptop, you now can.
